Let me first start off by saying I'm fully aware of all of the alleged legal issues about disabling safeties on guns. This is a purely technical question so lets not address any of that.
Between a series 80 with the firing pin block and a series 80 pistol with the entire FPB system taken out and replaced with the steel spacer, which will be more reliable.
I have seen pics of bent levers which raises cause for concern, but I also don't like the idea of spacers just sitting in a gun, next to the sear no less. I feel like I'm taking out these parts because they shouldnt be there, but I'm replacing it with a part that shouldn't be there.
Assuming that when I take out the FPB system I replace everything from the hammer to the firing pin and spring, which of these two systems will be more reliable and last longer.
(maybe if I'm lucky the most favored disciple of JMB 1911tuner will grace this thread with his wisdom)
